New raws for the 90s Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon anime.NOTE: The original release of this torrent was missing one small file: Sailor_Moon_000_35CED7F4.mkvIts the preview for episode 1. Instead, like so many of the great glimmers of ideas this season, we barely scratch its surface. Shame, that.Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon 1992 DVD 10-bit x264,AAC This, by the way, would have been a FANTASTIC season-long conflict for the Lights, both in terms of their own personal struggles with their choices as well as a valid reason for why the Outers wouldn’t want to fight alongside them (“they ditched their own people who’s to say they won’t do the same to us when the going gets tough?”).
Hark! A plot character point! Galaxia accuses the Lights of abandoning their planet, and the trio seem to accept this even as they promise they won’t run anymore.This was either a mistake, or someone caught a glimpse of this scene out of context and assumed something very different was going on. Episode 199 got a “mature audiences only” warning on Hulu.I’d say Chibi-Chibi is the worst character in Sailor Moon history, but that would suggest she’s an actual character, so….You know shit’s getting real when Usagi is the one stepping between someone else and a sharp stabbing object.She returns Usagi’s star seed to her, and I guess gets ready to defeat Galaxia or whatever. Because who needs battle tactics when you’ve got plot devices!
Yes, after standing around while her allies died (some of them crushed under the guilt of knowing they killed their fellow guardians in a last-ditch gambit to save the world that still ended in failure, NNGH), Chibi-Chibi finally gets off her ass and does something. Then we get one last flashback that isn’t entirely clear, but the important part is that Sailor Galaxia yanked out her own star seed and sent it away so that it could be nurtured in peace and one day awaken as the Light of Hope.Īnd where is that Light now? I’ll give you three plot devices. I wish we’d seen flashes of this previously, as it would have made this season’s conflict a lot more compelling in the early going, but it’s solid characterization even so.Įventually Usagi tries to release the energy from her star seed to save the day (yeah, I don’t think she had a plan here), to which Galaxia responds “Mine now!” and tries to steal her seed from her. The most compelling antagonists are usually the ones who believe they’re on the side of justice (as the Black Moon Clan and Nehelenia both did to varying degrees), so the fact that she thinks this is the best way to save the galaxy adds an extra intriguing layer to her arc. It also makes Galaxia a damn sight more interesting. Galaxia’s story is, in effect, a tragedy about the price of power-its isolating effects both socially and emotionally, and how “I’m the only person who can save everyone” can so quickly turn into “I’m the only one who matters.” It suggests that Usagi not being the strongest is actually a boon to her kingdom, and once again highlights the importance of community and teamwork. The whole thing is built around the present-day battle, but throughout we get sporadic flashbacks to Sailor Galaxia shortly after she sealed the Chaos: exhausted, lonely, and feeling as if she had no one to rely on. Convinced there was no one else she could trust to keep the peace (and likely infected by the Chaos she’d trapped within herself), she decided to “create a new future for the galaxy” with herself as ruler. There’s a lot packed into this one, but it’s also pretty repetitive, so I’m going to play fast-and-loose with my usual “chronological recap” format this time. The list of bummers just keeps on a-growin’, don’t it Usagi? Episode 199 – Twinkle Twinkle Little Sailor Star Whereupon I shouted “Holy shit the Legendary Guardian is Galaxia!” and not five seconds later Galaxia announced that as well. Miss Legendary didn’t just seal away the chaos-she sealed it away inside herself. Because remember that story about the Legendary Sailor Guardian that Princess Kakyu told us? Yeah, she left out one important detail. or whatever) stand to face Galaxia again, but she’s got one more plot bomb to drop on us before the end credits. You sent your friend request to Usagi, so you’re exempt from my snarking.
